Who do you think Tattoos suit better?

freshpopcorn · 13-08-2015 05:30AM #1

I'm male and have no tattoos. I wouldn't rule out getting a tattoo in future tough. It would have to mean something to me tough. Personally myself I would get a tattoo that could be covered up easily but it would be visible when I wanted it to be.
Probably wouldn't get one.
I know a few people who got religious tattoos and they wouldn't be religious tough and they just got them for the sake of it. My least favourite type of tattoos are of cartoons/out of play station games/etc.
I think tattoos suit men better than women.(this is just in my experience)

If there was a 'doesn't suit either' option, I'd have picked that

If you're not a sailor or circus freak no tattoo for you.

Seriously somebody needs to write the rules for these things.

I go through phases of wanting to get a giant colourful dragon sleeve tattoo.

Thankfully the phases only last about 10 seconds before I think: "Nah..."

Penny Tration · 13-08-2015 06:38AM

It depends entirely on the quality and style of the tattoo itself.

A crap tattoo will look crap on either gender. A brilliant tattoo will look good on either gender - if you like tattoos, that is.

I've got 5, and am happy with them. All of them are very easily covered, as I want them to be. Most people think they suit me.

they suit criminals

How about everybody sticks their pathetically judgemental opinions on other people's tattoos up their holes and how about anyone getting a tattoo makes up their own minds, 'coz if you need the opinions of others then permanent decoration isn't for you.

Wang King · 13-08-2015 07:45AM

A good tattoo looks well on either gender I think.
Things like tribal designs and names in Chinese can fck right off though

Tattoos look dreadful on any gender, in my opinion. I can't understand why anyone would want to maim themselves with them.

Balmed Out · 13-08-2015 07:53AM

Each to their own but cant understand the attraction, its like having a uniform that you cant take off.

Very few tattoos look good initially but after 15 -20 years generally they look awful. Worst is seeing old tattoos on women IMO.

Clinics specializing in tattoo removal have increased by 300%..........

It's possible you don't know how tattoos work. The body part with the tattoo remains attached to the body.

What an awful answer just stating the obvious.

I think tattoos look better on men.

Yes, because your own answer is so insightful :pac:

I don't have a sleeve and wouldn't get one, but in 20/30/40 years, we're going to be old and unattractive, so I doubt we'll worry too much about what our tattoos look like!

I understand where you're coming from but I think the OP is asking the question in a modern context. Attitudes from a century ago may not apply.

I actually answered the question that was asked, you waffled on about how water is wet and the sky is blue.

No dear, I said I don't think they suit any one gender better than the other, and explained why I think that. Please keep up.

I've noticed a lot of people who don't like tattoos are very concerned with how people will look naked when they're 80!

Tbh if my tatts look crap when I'm 80, I'll probably forget about them and just be shocked I'm still alive, given the lifestyle I lead!

rorokenny · 13-08-2015 08:07AM

I'm 33, got a full sleeve tattoo aged 30 (my first tattoo!). I work for a large software company and wear shirts to work. Nobody I work with knows I have any tattoo. I think if a tattoo is well done, it can look great on either gender. Most importantly, it's a persons own choice but as "Jotunheim" said above, if you're here for opinions, it's probably not for you!!!

I don't always speak to non-tattoed people..... but when I do, I don't judge them

No actually you didn't answer the question, you basically said they can look good and bad on both genders, (wow no one realised that), and you avoided the question about who they generally look better on. So maybe re read your post princess.

Ah, I see. You don't understand something unless it's stated in very plain English. Here - I do not believe they suit one gender over another.

Jaysus, who p!ssed in your cornflakes this morning?

GhostInTheRuins · 13-08-2015 08:10AM

I would have picked the 'neither' option if it was there.

I suppose some scruffy men can get away with them but on women they're terrible. It's an instant turn off to see a gorgeous woman with manky looking tramp stamp or similar.

Bloody women, eh? Thinking they can have an opinion a man didn't give them. Way to set her straight bro.

You said they can look good or bad on both genders. So does everyone. You can think they look good or bad on both genders, that doesn't mean you automatically think they don't look better on one gender than the other.

I've stated my opinion in plain English, using small words, in the post you quoted. You have your answer.

Jeez, calm down. Her answer was very valid. There's a poll up there to answer the question posed by the OP. Sure if the only thing to do on thread is to say women or men the poll would be sufficient to find the answer.

Jenny was providing an opinion on her views... Far more engaging than just saying men or women. This is a discussion board, no? Sounds to me like you have a problem with the poster

Enough already.

I generally think that back when every man, woman and goat didn't have a tattoo they looked better. Every eejit has one now.

The look awful on women, common and cheap they're not called tramp stamps for nothing.

They also tend to not suit guys with ruddy, freckled Celtic skin.

I've never even seen the dude's username before, so unless he's a re-reg, I dunno how he'd have a problem with me :pac:

Maybe it's because I'm female and tattooed. Cause they obviously look so much better on men.

In 20 years! Oh no!!

Ha ha, that is ****ing bargain.

If you're worried today about what you'll look like in 20 years let's have a think again about who's beyond sad.

Tattoos on women aren't called tramp stamps, just to point out. Only ones on the lower back, primarily done on women, are called tramp stamps.
